For years now I've been on the surface, seeking to find ways to strengthen the cause of my people and the tasks and force of the Mother of Darkness. In that time I've begun to make a reputation for myself through the dark weavings under and out of sight from the darthir and rothe of the surface. The Mother has seen fit to send me on a mission to ensure that this Daralith Del'Mar completes her task she has assigned to him.
Oh how it must eat at the Spider to be doing the Mother's work. And yet, he feels that he seeks to rejoin the religions as in the old and ancient ways, that the Mother of Darkness and the Prince of Hate once again be seen as side by side, Mother and Father of the Elves of the Deep. As it should be, even if that is true... that the Mother seeks reunification with the Lord of Spiders, it is simply to strengthen the people. I've seen the power of the ancient structures. I've felt the rush of power when my blood was joined with Daralith's and our voices to our gods blended together.
And I know that even still, the Mother must only seek the Lord of Spiders as her helpmate. As it was in the deep when I saw Daralith looking up at me as a male should look upon a female, the Mother must have a use for the Prince of Hate.
My power grows and I know more each night that the Mother has a destiny for me. It was set in motion when I was allowed to live, in spite of my flaw. But it is possible that it is not a flaw, but a mark of significance. Daralith now knows of the color of my hair, though I have hidden it from him for years. Other than a snide comment on occaision he is at least wise enough to keep his mouth shut.
Other than his intent to rebuild the temple of the Goddess with the God beside her, he seems to hint at a desire to rebuild ourselves our own House on the surface. While I have never desired to bear my own children until now, I do wonder if he is strong enough, worthy enough to father the next generation. He has a ways to go to learn the respect that should be granted to a female and priestess of the Mother. But he is older, and he is more powerful than me still. A problem I intend to rectify in time in regards to the power. I will submit to a few of his wishes to keep him content for the time being. As for his other uses to please me, that I have not yet seen. Soon though. I know that he is anxious, and it amuses me.
I have now procured an assassin as well as a fighter, and there is a sorcerer that I keep around for amusement. They are expendable, even if they are dark elves. But they are useful and I would prefer that they become a valuable member of the future House, whether I choose Daralith as my Patriarch or someone else. Time will tell. In the meantime they will continue to serve their purposes, and I will continue to set my plans in motion.
